Clifford Beckford Jr. appeared Monday in Boston Municipal Court for a bail hearing. He has been held for evaluation since his arraignment March 4. He returns to court May 14.

Police allege that in early February, the 34-year-old Beckford broke through a locked door, climbed a ladder to the top of one of the bridge's 275-foot towers and stole the 3-foot tall, 60-pound red light.

The light was recovered from the basement of a Charlestown bar. A bar manager says an employee found it outside in the snow.
